[@inthemakingof6096]

thanks, im getting into dreams, being a LBP3 veteran. this was helpful

[@meanlad]

Glad I could help! LBP games are the beeeest.

[@PlayaSkunx]

Oh cool same i stardet with lbp3 too but years ago (on ps4 too btw) and dreams is soooo cool

[@matthewgunter4503]

bought dreams yesterday, this made it easy to sort of jumpstart making some cool dreams

[@meanlad]

So glad I could help you out mate! :D

[@aitchtwoowaters8472]

Very loud intro, but you spoke from the next room into a very spectacular microphone.

[@meanlad]

This made me laugh out loud. XD Sorry about that, my audio skills are a bit noob still. But I'll try work on it. :D

[@meanlad]

Let me know what ability guides you would like me to make!

[@evantaylor2935]

Is there a way to make something that freezes? SubZero. Or did you make it?

[@meanlad]

@@evantaylor2935 It's next on my list! Should be here in the next week or so :D

[@edenbwicey7250]

How to make something fly please, like a puppet!

[@clonenova9514]

This tutorial is great. Simple and easy to follow along! I'm going to try and adapt this to be used within VR; I was having trouble getting the explosion working properly. Thank you for letting my 4am sleep procrastination bear something fruitful!

[@meanlad]

Thank you for such a great comment 🤣 I'm glad I could be of help! You could check out my VR vid where I made a little first person wizard game where he has a fireball, lightning and shield spell, cuz I just used the exact same fireball logic to do it. 😁 Check it out in dreams here: indreams.me/scene/drjtsHNiigP

[@Christech1084]

Love the logic friend 🎉

[@meanlad]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it 🤓

[@troubledbubblefish1490]

Such an amazing video earned a sub

[@meanlad]

Much appreciated mate! Welcome to the squad :D

[@themythrighthere9412]

2 requests please Meanlad. 1. Raise mic volume quite a a bit 2. LAZERBEAM ABILITY - like Iron mans Photon cannon. Thanks for another excellent video 👍😀

[@meanlad]

Thanks my dewd! I have adjusted mic levels in recent videos :D And I'll see about a laserbeam!

[@stanflamey8930]

This helped a lot, but im trying to also put in a 3rd person shooting system where you can aim and shoot at what your aiming at instead of just infront of the puppet like in this video

[@meanlad]

Hey mate, I plan to look into making a camera rig soon. Hopefully, I'll be able to figure out how to do it. When I do, you can expect a shweet tutorial!

[@ethanners6605]

This helped me make Skullduggery Pleasant with attack annimations. Thsnks for your help!

[@meanlad]

That is so cool! And it's an absolute pleasure. Maybe send the indreams link and I can check it out? :D

[@ethanners6605]

@@meanlad i am unsure of how to send a link but i can post the video up on my channel! :) after learning from ur tutorial ive also figured out how to make guns and animations for those too. I will post some vids

[@Earthkouek]

Hello ! Just a simple question (thanks for your tuto fireball it works !!!) Did you know how to reset enemy at each checkpoint and each death of the prinicpal character ?

[@meanlad]

Hi! Thanks for your comment. I would make it so that enemies are emitted (spawned) by an emitter. If the hero dies then the emitters would be activated again and would pop out new enemies (with the max emitted being set to 1 so that you don't double spawn every time your hero dies) :D

[@Earthkouek]

@@meanlad its a good tip, i already think for the idea of the emitter but i was not sure. Thank you. Another little question : your fireball work on destructable wall but not on my enemies on my levels (my enemies dies when you jump on head), but dont worry, i think i just add a destructeur effect and a trigger zone. Great tutorials !!!! VR is sooooo COOOOOOL for us ^^ So amazing to experiment a work on screen and to try after in vr (i dont work on the editor directly in vr, i have a lot of bugs for the saves)

[@Earthkouek]

it's good ;) i solve quickly the problem

[@meanlad]

@@Earthkouek That sounds cool :D If you want the fireball to blow your enemies away or knock them over you need to make sure the Force Applier is affecting the same tag that your enemies are (eg. Foe). And, they must be set to movable :D

[@edenbwicey7250]

Hey, how would I make it damage enemies, in like a radius if the explosion? Camt find a tutorial anywhere

[@meanlad]

Hey mate, what you would do is add in a health modifier that hurts enemies in a Zone (rather than on impact). That way it could hurt not only the one it hits but all the suckers around them too!

[@VinceKully]

Dude! How do you split up the timeline into sections like that?

[@meanlad]

How do you mean? 🤓

[@VinceKully]

@@meanlad On the timeline of your video on youtube, it's split up into sections (intro, making the fireball, making the logic for the fireball, etc)

[@meanlad]

@@VinceKully You put a bunch of timestamps like this: 00:00 Intro 00:01 Cool Part You don't use colons :D I believe they're called chapters.

[@VinceKully]

oh shoot you just put them straight into the description. Awesome! Thanks, that’ll be useful!

[@jeremy3969]

Can you Teach Us How to Do a Spear Get Over Here on Dreams From Mortal Kombat

[@meanlad]

Yo Jeremy! I'll see what I can do :D

[@edenbwicey7250]

Is this possible on the deluxe character, because that's what I need to use for other aspects of the game

[@meanlad]

Yo mate, it's totally possible. Deluxe puppets work the same they just have a bunch of extra logic that isn't necessary for the tutorial, so I tend to stick with using the basic ones so there isn't as much logic on screen. But yeah, you can just copy paste your fireball and timeline in and you should be good to go :D

[@stanflamey8930]

My fireball still bounces off the wal for like half a second before it dissapears, how do i fix that

[@meanlad]

Hey mate, if you're using an impact sensor I would say adjust the sensitivity 🤓 or change it from Bump to Touch 🤓

[@stanflamey8930]

@@meanlad ill try that, thanks

[@stanflamey8930]

@@meanlad didnt work

[@derpacman4632]

I want to create a magic Wall, Like 4 round Shild's in the Air. Can i draw them? And what kind of Logic i had to Use?

[@meanlad]

Yo mate! I would say that you could draw them using paint strokes and attach those paint strokes to a physical sculpt. As for logic it would depend. If enemies are shooting physical objects at you all you would need is to make your shields physical objects (like sculpts) that are collidable. So the enemy bullets would just bounce off them. If you have hit logic built into your character then just disable it when the shields are on :D

[@meanlad]

It would actually be cool to make a shield ability guide :D Maybe I'll do this soon!

[@derpacman4632]

Yeeees Thank you 🔥

[@SaintGuillotine]

A problem I've had making an ability is that I have an animation for it so I can use the emitter. But it doesn't move with my character it only activates in the same spot. I don't know how to attach it to my character, everything I've tried has failed

[@meanlad]

Thanks for your comment :D Could it be that the emitter isn't surface snapped to your puppet? To do so grab the emitter with R2 and then hold L1 to surface snap it to an object or puppet. Otherwise, you could put the emitter inside your puppet's logic, and adjust then emit point from there :D That way, if it's inside your puppets logic or surface snapped to the puppet it should move along with it.

[@silentcrow6602]

Your cool!🤘

[@meanlad]

Cheers mate! So are you!

[@Tr1t0n.]

why's it Not effecting anything

[@mightdelete290]

Mine won’t destroy anything and I’ve tried so many time

[@meanlad]

Sorry to hear that mate! 😮 Are the objects set to movable and collidable so that they will fly away when the force applier affects them? 🤓

[@mightdelete290]

@@meanlad omg thanks sorry bout that it works now thanks heaps 👍🏼😊

WAIT WAIT I THOUGHT THIS WAS HARD?
